late getting back to this!Very cool. I'd say your profile pic isn't from Isanti! I don't think I've seen you truck around?
nice looking B2> it would be cool with a diesel in it!late getting back to this!
haha nope, that's from silver lake sand dunes in MI. me and the wife try to get there every summer. been a couple years as that Ranger has been down for a rebuild. You got some cool stuff going down for sure! would love to stuff one of them diesels in my B2 I have recently fixed up. My sickly 2.9 has got to go.
would love to stop by someday and talk shop

The early ecu (81 pin) doesn't require the DD box and can connect directly to the Ranger cluster. Same as I did for coolant temp, oil sensor, etc. The 121 pin ecu is different and DOES require the DD box.Hey Greengeeker, How did your Ford cluster work with ALH. Did you use any converters for Tach, coolant temp etc. I see you have the VW cruise as well. I am assuming you had to use Dakota Digital box to correct Ranger's VSS.
That's my 2002 Ranger XLT 4WD build. Its not complete yet. If you need more pics or info, please let me know.Can you 4wd experts help me out here?
Does the 4wd TTB cross member provide more oil pan clearance than the 4wd IFS cross member (and steering rack)?
Thanks for the dimensions. That helps immensely and it sounds like the IFS and TTB engine bays are very similar in size which makes sense since they housed basically the same engines. Does your truck have a steering rack?I can't speak about the 4wd IFS cross member, but as for the TTB, the ALH I've got sitting in my '95 has ~.5" underneath and maybe ~.25" to the hood. And it really only fits in the engine compartment the one particular way I have it positioned. You might be able to have some more wiggle room if you did an oil filter relocation but otherwise I don't see how you could do it any different than what I have done.
There is plenty of room for the oil pan though. It all sits above the engine crossmember.
I'm on TDI Club as HoneyBadger. I know you've seen my build so far, but here's a link for anyone else whose interested. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=455909
I'd be happy to take some more pictures for you if there was something specific that you want to see.
